The pile driving IL still going on In
the bay, and the anxiety Of the owners
OF business concerns increases In pro-
portion ~ the gap in the water line
grows nAFrogeE.
" The railroad company intends to
put 10 9 draw here some time" said
Contractor Pete Irving yesterday in
conversation With the Posi- ISrKLLIoKN-
CxR man.
THE people above here are kicking |
vigorously" said the latter.
"Yes, IL certainly seems an injustice |
to them, as they bought and located |
there With the understanding that there |
would be an open water gay. The man |
utactureEs are not the only ones who are |
kicking" he continued. 81 met AndeT-
SOS, Of the Land Company, this morn
isR and he don't seen to like ii bit. |
He said u was all wrong"
"You are going right along, how
ever 7"
"Oh, yes the company say that they
musi have this ready for trains when
the trains are ready to come, and they
can't wait 10 build the bridge. That
aan be built some other time"
THE QUESTION OF KsaINEKR
what do You think OF the excuse
offered by the company for not building
the drAS, that they have no engineer
here
They probably mean that Chief En-
ginesE Anderson is absent. Engineer
ID. ID. Clark 10 In charge of the work
here"
"Mr. Clark Is capable Of locating or
constructing bridge, Is he not7 He is
ona OF the oldest and most experienced
engineers In the employ Of the com
pany."
"0h, yes"
Does II require the chief engineer for
the construction OF q one-spsn truss or
draw bridget
THE reasons given to me for not
buildiBg Il Just nov is the time re-
quired. They want this branch onm-
pleted mere ~ soon as possible-it Is
one thing the company will need more
than others TO enable them to bring
trains In this way going TO Portland. Il
sill save heap OF switching. II the
people up there want the water left
open now they will have 10 get 10 and
kick hard, Tor IL - being closed up fast"
THE HURRY NOV.
"When nsaFly everybody a month
ago was wondering Why the COMPANY
was doing nothing here to prepare for
the completion Of the Cascade division
and their complaints we're published,
you remember. the answer was given
that there Was plenty Of time 20 do all
the work that WAS necessary here; that
70 could be- done 10 a few weeks. You

aEscER man.
MIR. Irving laughed. III will take a
year 90 do the work that is 10 be done
here" be said.
Then why vas the beeinn nc OF il
delayed until there Is no time left TO
bald bridge and the bay Is filed With
piles"
"Oh. that is generally the way. They
must have everything done in rush. /
